Isabelle is planning a road trip to her friend's house. She looks at a map that has a scale of 1/2 in. to 25 mi. The road distance between her home town and her friend's town measures 12 in. on the map. If d represents the road distance between the two towns, what is d?

Answer:

600 miles

Explanation:

From the question:

1/2 inches = 25 miles

12 inches = x

1/2 × x = 25 × 12

x = (25 × 12) ÷ 1/2

x = 25 × 12 × 2

x = 600 miles

Therefore the road distance between two towns = 600 miles
